Pregnancy yoga and birth preparation classes for pregnant women

Our weekly antenatal classes promote complete emotional and physical health in pregnancy, birth and early parenting. We run a number of classes across Bristol, as well as in Portishead and the Birmingham area.

Our focus is on providing pregnant women with support, ideas, information and a chance to make lifetime friendships. The format may vary a little, depending on the practitioner, but whichever class you attend, you'll be able to:

  • Enjoy yoga-based exercises that will help strengthen, tone and support your body in pregnancy, birth and early parenting
  • Practise active birth positions for a quicker, easier labour 
  • Understand how breathing and visualisation can help you have a positive birth experience
  • Explore the physiology of birth and the power of sound, touch and the mind-body connection in labour
  • Celebrate your pregnancy and meet other mothers-to-be
  • Make time and space to connect to your baby

 Booking essential for all classes. Please see further details below.
